These symptoms will be seen in crops due to nitrogen deficiency in soil

nitrogen deficiency in soil
  • Nitrogen is required for plants especially for fruit and seed development.

  • In addition, it increases the size and quality of the leaf, and increases the longevity of the plant.

  • Due to its deficiency, the normal chlorosis of the entire plant is of a light green color and after this the yellowing of the old leaves spreads towards the young leaves.

  • The leaves are unable to produce enough chlorophyll. This stage of the leaves is called chlorotic. Lower leaves (older leaves) show the first symptoms.

Make domestic fertilizer in the field with wheat straw

Make domestic fertilizer in the field with wheat straw

There is a state of disarray among farmers regarding the disposal of crop residues. Often crop residues are reported to be burnt after harvesting, due to which the level of pollution also increases considerably. Burning crop residues in the field also reduces the fertility of the field, hence farmers should work for better disposal of crop residues and the best way to do this is to make domestic fertilizer with the help of decomposer of these residues. By doing this, they will not only be able to dispose of the crop residues but will also be able to increase the fertility of the fields with domestic manure prepared with the help of decomposer.

What measures should be taken to prevent chilli nursery from damping off disease?

damping off disease in chilli nursery,
  • Damping of chilli is the main disease in the nursery.

  • Due to this disease, the chilli crop is very much affected in the nursery stage.

  • The stem of the seedling becomes soaked with water and becomes thin, almost thread-like due to the disease.

  • Infected leaves turn from green to brown and young leaves start wilting.

  • Management: – Use of Thiophanate methyl 70% WP @ 300 gm/acre or Chlorothalonil 70% WP @ 400 gram/acre or Metalaxyl + Mancozeb @ 500 gram/ acre or Pseudomonas fluorescens @ 250 gram/acre.

How to know the pH of soil and its benefits in crops

How to know the pH of soil and its benefits in crops
  • Soil testing can detect not only the soil pH but also the electrical conductivity, organic carbon, major nutrients, and micronutrients.

  • The normal, acidic or alkaline nature of soil can be ascertained from soil pH value. Soil pH decreasing or increasing affects the growth of plants.

  • After finding out Soil pH, suitable crop varieties are recommended in problem-prone areas which can tolerate acidification and alkalinity.

  • Nutrients are most commonly received by plants between values ​​6.5 to 7.5 Soil pH. That is, the plant gives good yield with total growth. On the other hand, the value is less than 6.5 pH, the land is acidic and If the value exceeds 7.5 pH, the land is called alkaline.

  • Adding lime for acidic land and gypsum for alkaline land is generally recommended.

Importance of Sulfur in crops

Importance of Sulfur in crops
  • Sulfur helps increase the percentage of protein in crops, as well as sulfur contributes to the production of chlorophyll, which causes the leaf to remain green and produce food for plants.

  • Sulfur increases the efficiency and availability of nitrogen.

  • The use of sulfur in pulses helps make more root nodes of the plants so that nitrogen fixation from the atmosphere by Rhizobium bacteria presents the roots of plants.

  • Enhances the quality of tobacco, vegetables, and fodder crops.

  • The important use of sulfur is to increase the amount of protein and oil in oilseeds.

  • Sulfur increases the amount of starch in potatoes.

  • Sulfur is called soil reformer because it lowers the pH of the soil.

This is how coco peat is prepared from coconut fibers

This is how coco peat is prepared from coconut fibers
  • Many essential nutrients are found naturally in coconut fibers. The process of producing the soil by mixing these coconut fibers with other nutritional salts artificially is called “coco peat”.

  • It is a product of the coconut industry and also provides an additional source of income to the people of coastal areas.

  • This is achieved by rotting the fibers on top of the coconut and peeling and turning it into powdered form.

  • Both Peat moss or coco peat  have the same purpose. Both make the pot soil ventilated as well as keep the moisture in it, it is also very light.

  • You can increase the fertility of the field by putting old completely compost cow dung in the field.

  • By deep plowing of the field, the seeds of weeds growing in the field can be destroyed.

  • Thus all these tasks can be done in summer

How to use Decomposer before sowing chilli

How to use Decomposer before sowing chilli
  • Decomposer is a type of bio fertilizer that also acts as a fertility enhancer in the soil.

  • It should also be used when the crop has been harvested from the field.

  • Farmers should  use powder form decomposer at the rate of 4 kg per acre in field soil or cow dung.

  • Maintain a small amount of moisture in the field, you can transplant chilli crop after 10 to 15 days of broadcast.

  • Since these microorganisms work to convert the residue of old crops into manure, their digestion process changes from anaerobic to aerobic,

  • Which destroys pathogenic and harmful organisms. Through biological enrichment and the synergistic action of enzymatic catalysis, chronic residues are converted into healthy, rich, nutrient-balanced fertilizers.
